I tried to post it yesterday and could not get it to work. Looks like a '09 without a windshield or top. Doesn't seem to have bills on front fenders but is hard to see. Others on here are very good at pictures.

I find it hard to believe that is Venice California!
Appears to be the St. Mark Hotel in Venice, California, according to the following link:

Yup,
That's the St Marks. Been there,seen that... If I'm not mistaken we used to refer to that as the Alameda in the 1950's.
Venice Ca. became a real mess after oil wells arrived in the 30's and 40's.
My best friend in Elementary School and Jr High was the son of a Lady who knew many men in Venice in the 40's.
He ended up living in Malibu with his uncle and grandma in the 50's 60's, when we became neighbors.
Sorry, but Venice Ca. was considered a slum till the yuppies moved in back in the 80's and beyond.
Never recall seeing a T there though.
Danny's, at 23 Windward Avenue, Venice, California, may be what is left of the St. Marks Hotel. Google Map it and look at the street view. The following link puts the St. Marks at Windward and Ocean Front:

Click on the "title" to look at the hotel.
Here it is today:
I believe the hotel is long gone Royce; and I believe the photo you posted is of the building next door to where the hotel used to be.
